R&B and Jazz singer Jean Terrell. She replaced Diana Ross as the lead singer of The Supremes in Jan. 1970. She is the sister of the former WBA heavyweight boxing champion Ernie Terrell, who fought Muhammad Ali. Jean was guided by her family to sing, and it was in the late 1960s that she and her brother formed a group called Ernie Terrell and the Heavy Weights.

Motown president Berry Gordy discovered the 24-year-old Terrell in 1969 in Miami, Florida where she was performing with her brother at a club. Gordy first signed Terrell to Motown as a solo artist, but then decided to drop her into The Supremes as Ross’s replacement along side Mary Wilson and Cindy Birdsong. Terrell made an instant impact fronting the new Supremes. With the group, she sang songs like “Up the Ladder to the Roof” & “Stoned Love”.

Jean Terrell started a solo career. She sang songs like “I Had to Fall in Love”, No Limit, and more. These songs came from “I Had to Fall In Love” album which was her only solo album released in 1978.
